    Stopped by for a coffee & quick breakfast after a girls who walk Baltimore event! Sandwiches were good & the spiced latte was okay! Service could have been a bit friendlier ... but it was a decent cafe! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    Cheese and Potato
    Olivia S.

    Recently visited Dooby's for breakfast on a trip to Baltimore after it was recommended as a great brunch spot! On a weekday, I was surprised to find the place practically empty at 10 am. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to you when it's ready. The service at the counter was not great. I didn't feel very welcome, but the food came out quickly at least. The vibes inside were super cute, and the breakfast menu is an eclectic collection of Korean fusion dishes. I got the cheese and potato burrito with a side of kimchi potato salad. The burrito was delicious and generously packed with ingredients. I also loved the kimchi potato salad, even though it was kind of a weird breakfast side choice. I would definitely love to come back and try more of their breakfast offerings!

    At one point during the pandemic, I was ordering their pies and cookies way too much. I haven't been a Dooby's in a really long time. Because it's owned by Korean restauranteur, Phil Han, the menu has a lot of Korean fusion items. My friend and I went for brunch recently, and I was actually really disappointed that I didn't get a brunch item. I decided to get a bahnmi, and it just was not very good. The Matcha was also overly milky. I didn't even taste the Matcha at all, and the pork belly on the bahnmi was not rendered correctly. The staff is super kind and helpful but the food just wasn't very good. My favorite was probably the kimchi potato salad because who doesn't love a potato salad? It is a large area and I was shocked to see so many people working here on a Saturday so I do love that this place exist exists. I'm very disappointed because I used to love Dooby's and will definitely be coming back to give it another try. I also feel like the vibes have shifted. I feel like it used to feel more unique but now it just kind of feels like a general coffee shop with nothing unique.

    Spicy garlic chicken bowl

    Upon my recent visit to Baltimore, Dooby's was walking distance from my hotel so I found myself here for both breakfast and lunch during my stay. For my first visit, I opted for one of their bowls. I love that you can customize it with your base, proteins and sauces. I opted for a blend of greens and brown rice with the spicy garlic chicken. It was packed with veggies and flavor and I loved it. The next day I popped in for coffee and a homestyle breakfast. Also solid. I enjoyed visiting Dooby's and I think its a great spot to grab a bite and pop open your laptop (on the counter seats).

    Banh Mi
    Sarah S.

    This was a nice stop on the way home from Artscape. Parking can be difficult, but if you look far enough you should be able to find something. The cafe is cute and counter service only, but they bring your food to you when it's ready. Although there was a long line at the counter, it went very quickly and the food was brought out very quickly. I ordered a banh mi with spicy garlic chicken with a side of hash and a s'mores cookie. While the chicken was very juicy and all the makings of a good banh mi were there, the ratios were a little off. The meat flavor was overwhelming (get your money's worth I guess?) and I wish there were more pickled vegetables. All in all it was pretty good and certainly filling. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and were really yummy. The s'mores cookie was thin and chewy. I would come back and try the banh mi again, perhaps with tofu next time.

    Chai Latte

    A great option for working, coffee, and breakfast in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood. I was staying nearby at Hotel Ulysses and posted up at Dooby's for two hours to get some work done. The staff here is super friendly and the order at the counter take a number vibe really suited my needs. My almond milk chai was serviceable and I felt the pepper jam on the bacon egg and cheese was a little heavy handed, but overall I enjoyed everything. Fast wifi and working is only allowed in the front part of the cafe, which I think is great. Would recommend!

    Steak, Egg & Cheese Sandwich
    Melinda S.

    Dooby's was close to our hotel so we stopped in for breakfast. It's a nice open space with a good amount of seating. I saw several people there working or studying so seems a good spot for that. You can order at the counter. The staff were all nice. We chose to share a steak, egg, and cheese sandwich. You can choose how you'd like your egg cooked so we of course opted for a nice runny egg! The sandwich was large and very tasty. I noticed they also serve ramen, buildable rice bowls, and sandwiches in addition to their breakfast options. They also had some yummy looking sweets in a case. Overall, we both liked the food and ambience here and I will return!

    Pumpkin Spice Latte and Spicy Korean Street Style Noodles
    Simriya S.

    I think this was the best pumpkin spice latte I've had in a LONG time. So smooth and delicious. The korean noodle bowl was amazing, and the pork belly was made to perfection! Everything came at a timely manner and the staff was super friendly. The place is super cozy and cute as well.

    I love the coffee here but from time to time I'll get the matcha latte which is delicious! The servers are always very friendly and the orders come out quickly. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and you'll always find folks chatting, working, or just generally hanging around inside I haven't yet tried the full good menu but it's on my list to try.

    Caramel Apple Chai Blueberry Peach Crumb Bar
    Sebastian P.

    Great spot for a quick bite and warm beverage on a cold Sunday morning in Baltimore. Looks like they have a variety of other really good menu items available as well. Have only tried breakfast. Service is super quick and the space has a great vibe. The peach and blueberry crumb cake is a 10/10.

    Came in 2-3 weeks ago and got the best bacon egg and cheese sandwich with pepper jelly. I got it how it came but thought my bacon could had been crispier. I try not to order bacon extra crispy bc sometimes at other places it comes out burnt. So I came back today and decided to to try out the extra crispy but my egg was undercooked with yolk coming out *yuck*. I was so sad bc I only could eat the other half with bacon and some cheese but none of the good pepper jelly. I tried to enjoy my carrot cream cheese muffin which I thought was going to taste like carrot cake but tasted like a a carrot muffin not sweet and not good. On my drive from Doobys to my job I did enjoy my cold brew even though u asked for it to be extra sweet it was not in fact I watched the guy make it and I don't believe he even looked at the instructions on extra sweet but the coffee itself was good and for 4 dollars I'm not too upset. Going forward I think I won't order online but will come in and order to make sure my food is prepared to my liking. Oh well try again another saturday. Edit: I called Doobys and told them I was displease with my sandwich and they refunded me even tho it takes 3-5 days

    The food is 10/10! I've been going here for years. The person who took our order was nice. The only thing that could be fixed is the cleanliness of the tables in between customers.

    Rarely do I visit a restaurant where the food looks exactly like the picture before you even take a…read morebite and then tastes even better than it looks. Ekiben did that. I had been here once before, before moving to the area, and thought it was great then. This time? Extraordinary. I came in about an hour before closing, and anyone who eats out knows food can sometimes feel different that close to closing time. Not here. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and just as good as if I had walked in at peak dinner time. On top of that, I had an issue with my online order/payment. It looked like the charge was processing through my account, but they had no record of the order. Instead of making me feel like a problem, the person helping me was patient, kind, and genuinely tried to figure it out. I felt treated like a hungry customer who needed help not like someone trying to get over. The food looked good, tasted amazing, and the people were helpful, welcoming, and kind even near closing. The space was welcoming as well. The corner store ..... come on in. Come on in. Come on in. Top-notch all around

    Fantastic food once again, I ordered a chicken bowl and the Maryland softie. The chicken is always…read more10/10 and worth it. It was delicious, flavorful, crispy, and easily worth the price. Now for the Maryland softie, my first bite was heavenly (full of the crab-cake and remoulade), but as I kept eating it, I realized I would've just preferred it with just crab cake, not the soft shell too. Was it worth the hype? kind of. It's pricey so maybe one and done for me. Now the crab Rangoon egg roll, that was a miss for me. It is cheesy and filled with imitation crab, but too small for me at the price point. And I didn't find it super tasty personally. My sister who is also a yelp elite had a totally different take and loves it, so maybe it's subjective. I did have it 4 hours (put it in air-fryer) after I got it so maybe eating it super fresh is the difference. Space is limited so better for carryout, and the person taking my order was friendly. It'll probably take 20-30 mins for your order to come out, depending on how many people there are and pickup orders they have to complete. Overall, this place is a Maryland staple at this point and anyone who visits MD should 100% try and check out their famous fried chicken, whether as a bao sandwich or a rice bowl.
